A ride on the Star Ferry is a quintessential part of the Hong Kong experience for visitors; it is an important link to the city's history and heritage and affords all who ride - excellent views of Victoria Harbour, Victoria Peak and world class Hong Kong Skyline. The Star Ferry is something that can be easily enjoyed by everyone and captures so much of what I love about Hong Kong. This is why it is my personal favorite thing to do in the city and the first thing I recommend to Tripadvisor members when asked what to do and see in Hong Kong.
